We use keep change flip when dividing fractions.
11/12; we'll keep this fraction.
×; we'll change it to multiplicion
3/1; we flip it.
11×3=33
12×1=12
33/12= 2 9/12= 2 3/4

The correct answer is
(11)/(4)

You can find this by first starting with the original question.


(11)/(12) ÷
(1)/(3)

Now to solve a division problem with fractions, you can always flip the second one and turn it into multiplying.


(11)/(12) *
(3)/(1)

Now we can multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.


(33)/(12)

Then of course, we need to simplify. Since both are divisible by 3, we can divide both numbers by 3.


(11)/(4)
